Bolly good show in Forbury

READING put on a Bolly good show to welcome stars of the Indian silver screen filming in The Forbury.

Salman Khan and Shilpa Shetty, two of Bollywood's biggest stars, were in town to film scenes for Muzh Se Shadi Karogi - Will You Marry Me - last week.

Most of the action takes place in India, but producers thought Reading's very own Forbury Gardens and the banks of the River Thames were just the ticket for love scenes.

Ashwani Chopra, UK co-ordinator, has lived in Reading for 21 years. He said: "There are some beautiful locations around the town. Caversham Bridge is lovely and so is the Forbury. Why not try and promote Reading a little bit?" The film is expected out early in 2002.
